FAQs
What materials are used in the Nike Air Max 97 OG Atlantic Blue Voltage Yellow?
The shoe features a combination of mesh, leather, and nubuck on the upper, with a rubber outsole. The cushioning is provided by a full-length Max Air unit.
How do I clean the reflective stripes?
Gently wipe the reflective stripes with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, as this could damage the reflective coating.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
While the Air Max unit offers good cushioning, the Nike Air Max 97 OG is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How does the sizing run for this model?
The Nike Air Max 97 generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, it's always recommended to consult the brand's size chart or try them on if possible, especially if you have wider feet.
What does 'OG' stand for in the product name?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original Gangster' in sneaker culture, referring to the original colorway or the first release of a particular model.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their condition and materials.
What is the main inspiration behind the Air Max 97 design?
The design of the Air Max 97 is inspired by Japan's bullet trains and water ripples, reflected in its sleek, wavy lines.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to Nike's official size guide and compare with your foot measurements. Consider the sock thickness you typically wear. If possible, try on in-store or be aware of the return policy if ordering online.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are the original or a suitable replacement. Try a double knot for extra security. Consider replacing worn-out laces.
Mudguard material looks dirty or scuffed
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and a soft brush specifically designed for suede or nubuck. For scuffs, gentle brushing may lift the nap; deeper marks may require professional cleaning.
Yellowing on the translucent sole
This can occur over time due to oxidation. Cleaning with mild soap and water can help. For significant yellowing, specialized sole brighteners might be considered, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
